The following from the pen of Rev. John Burton, B.A. appeared inT heS cot in British North A merica, Editor, W. J. Rattray, B.A., 1882. George Paxton Young, M.A., Professor of Logic, Metaphysics andE thics in University College, Toronto, was born at Berwick-on-T weed, on the 9th of November, 1818. After a preliminary training there, he was sent to the High School, Edinburgh, and thence to the University. Mr. Young was distinguished for his steady application, especially to his favourite subjects of mathematics and philosophy. After taking his degree, he was for some time engaged as a teacher of mathematics at Dollar A cademy. When the disruption took place, Mr. Young, as might have been expected from his liberal views, espoused the cause of which the great Dr. Chalmers was the leading champion. Entering the Free Church Theological Hall, where he duly completed his course, he was ordained and placed in charge of theM artyrs Church, Paisley. In the course of a few months, however, Mr. Young resolved to remove to Canada. He came hither in 1848, and at once accepted a call from Knox Church, Hamilton, Ont.

The author examines the philosophical views of prominent thinkers like Edwards and Mill, highlighting the nuances and complexities of their arguments.
